Procedure

To a suspension of 6.8 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 200 ml of anhydrous ether are added 26.2 g of ethyl 4-(3-pentyloxyphenoxy)butyrate dissolved in 100 ml of anhydrous ether. Addition is carried out at a rate which maintains reflux of the solvent. After 30 minutes, the mixture is cooled in an ice bath and quenched with water. 3N HCl is added; and the organic layer is separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to yield 4-[3-(pentyloxy)phenoxy]butanol.
